Southern Exposure is pleased to announce Me and You and This Other Thing, our 25th Annual Entry-Fee-Free Juried Exhibition of new works by Northern California artists. This annual event is the premier showcase of contemporary artwork by promising local talent. With a different theme each year, artists are encouraged to pursue a broad range of artistic expression across media. This year, the title of our juried show is an imperative! Southern Exposure supports artists working together. The presented works will be made in collaboration by at least two people.

The juried exhibition features Northern California artists. At least one collaborator should live north of King City and south of Red Bluff. Guest juror Francisco Cordero-Oceguera will select the works by blind process, choosing pieces across media that respond to this year's focus on collaborative visual art practices.

For many of the artists selected, this is their first major exhibition and a vital step forward in their art careers.
